The M4 is the highest single core CPU in the world and it’s in a ridiculously thin tablet without cooling. I don’t understand where this idea that Apple has lost most of their chip design talent and is in trouble rhetoric is coming from. Apple still makes the world’s most advanced and efficient...
There’s no perceptible difference between using the M1 and M4 in day to day use. In the age of LLM’s, forget the CPU. It’s now about unified memory, GPU and the Neural Engine and Apple is already falling behind there. The 38 TOPS in the M4 is behind Qualcomm and Intel’s upcoming Windows chips.
I have the M1, M2 and M3 iPad Pro’s and I can’t tell the difference between them when it comes to snappiness. The M3 is supposed to be 50% faster in single core than the M1 in GB6 but that speed increase is nowhere to be seen in actual daily use. Why are we even paying attention to benchmark...
Holy, the M3 is already scoring 1000 points higher in GB6 single-thread over the M1. My M1 Air is just as snappy as the day I bought it and it's crazy that the M3 is that much faster while retaining Apple's efficiency lead. People give Tim Cook crap for a lots of things but you can't deny that...
Speedometer 3.0 has been released (by contributors from Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla). https://www.browserbench.org/Speedometer3.0/
I ran a test on my M1 MacBook AIr and got 23.0.
I don't understand why people are saying Apple is doomed. The M3 family of chips on the laptop side are literally the most advanced chips on earth. No other chip maker can compete on performance per watt. Qualcomm's new M-series competitors are promising but they'll come out halfway through...
Damn, the incremental updates are starting to show up. The M3 is now 28.5% faster than the M1 MacBook Air in Geekbench 6 single-core (3000 vs 2333 points).
A17 Pro Geekbench 6. Seems like there's 0% IPC gain. The 10% increase in ST performance is from overclocking. So Apple losing most of their best chip designers after the release on the M1 is true.
Wow... Apple has been on a slump since the A14, which came out in 2020. After the A17, Apple has...
Apple is so far ahead of the competition on the phone/tablet side and they are still kings of performance per watt on laptops. They can’t compete on desktop, though. Apple lost a lot of their Avenger-level chip design talent after the release of the M1 but Apple’s chip division has built up so...
To me it feels like both Apple and Microsoft have found much better revenue streams and restructured their orgs. Microsoft is no longer prioritising Windows and Apple is an iPhone company now. Laptops are mainly bought in bulk by corporations for employees. Consumers Use Chromebooks, tablets and...
It's crazy how the M1 is just as fast as the day I bought it at the end of 2020. It's going to be hard for Apple to entice M1 owners to buy new generations. They totally knocked it out of the park.
How does the M2 Ultra stack up against the PC world? Apple Silicon is a SoC so it’s hard to quantity the difference between it and the individual parts in a PC.
You can get individual parts that are performing better in a PC but the SoC design, I’m sure, must bring something to the table right...
